The
conspiracy theorists are having a field day. According to these otherwise rational
people, COVID-19 is all about getting President Trump out of office. They point
to what they call ‘facts’ such as the much lower than predicted mortality rate
(forgetting that we have the best health professionals in the world, just ask ANY
of the foreign countries that send their people here to study,) and the
supposed reporting errors that keep cropping up (forgetting that a HUGE number
of people don’t go to the doctor when they get it, and that EVERY test ever
created has a margin of error.) But let’s examine the idea that this is all
about making sure President Trump doesn’t get reelected.
The
Chinese must be at the top of the list of people wanting Mr. Trump out of
office. You can’t blame them, our President wants balanced trade with them and
that is something they haven’t had to worry about in decades. So, since we can trace
the origin of the virus to China (if it’s real, we’ll get to that too) that
must mean the Chinese manufactured a virus, infected and killed their own
population and then infected the whole world just to make sure the U.S. got it.
Clever these Chinese! Or, I suppose, it could have originated in bats just like
most of these things do and then got into the human population just like a
regular virus. Nah.
Perhaps
the entire thing is fake! There is no virus. It’s just another form of the
flu. Of course, you have to wonder why countries like Iran, who are friends of
China, have mortality rates of over five percent from this flu. But what’s a
few deaths between friends, as long as Trump is out of office, right? Why that
sounds so rational…just say it out loud a few times.
Obviously
I think the virus is real. I have friends who have caught it and tell of the
lasting effects from it, something you don’t see from influenza. Do I believe that
there is a concerted effort to unseat President Trump? Yes, but as usual most
people, including the authorities, aren’t connecting the dots.
Look
at the flags and symbols that the ‘protestors’ who are looting and ruining our
cities are using. In 1962 Nikita Khrushchev, leader of the Soviet Union said, "We
cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can
assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism
until they suddenly awake to find they have communism." If you want a
conspiracy theory, how about asking, “Is there a coordinated effort for this
social change by electing leaders who will cave to what these protestors want,
communism?” Mayors who join the protestors or refuse to act when they take over
large portions of their cities. Governors who get angry when the Federal
Government acts to protect Federal property from vandalism. Members of Congress
(specifically, some women) who scream and object when vandals and arsonists are
arrested for their actions. Democrats may think this is progressive, but I will
remind you that under a Communist regime only a very few will have the privileges
you enjoy today. And if anyone from the news services is reading this, you
should be shaking in your boots because there will only be a need for one news
service under a Communist regime.
